Time difference between Delhi and Karachi

Karachi is 30 minutes behind Delhi

Delhi, India is UTC+5:30 · Karachi, Pakistan is UTC+5 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Delhi does not change its clocks and Karachi does not change its clocks — so 30 minutes is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
